Intrusive ads make app unusable in for quick decisions on the train platform
by fjdurhegeudje on 2021/11/18 05:05
Ads pop up immediately whenever you first open the app, last too long, and can’t be immediately closed. It won’t give you problems if you’re checking the map with time to spare, but if you ever find yourself needing this app to help you make a snap decision re: boarding an unexpected train that has just pulled up to the platform, you won’t have time to close out the inevitable ads and check the map before the train departs.
There are other free nyc subway map apps that don’t frontload unskippable ads. This one isn’t going to ruin your life, but there’s just no reason to download it over the others.
Turn off the screaming ads
by Wicked tuff on 2021/11/11 14:00
Whose stupid idea was it to compromise the safety of riders by preventing them access to the map with a screaming ad?
It prevents riders from quick access to whether or not an arriving train goes where they want and eliminates privacy.
I already paid to ride the train. If the official app of the MTA isn’t going to assist riders unless they pay then it shouldn’t be the official app.
Heinous
advertising at the worst time
by Mr. Bean1000 on 2021/11/07 02:25
You are late to work, running out of time, you open this app trying to find out if there are any service changes. Guess what? You are hit by an advertisement that runs for a whole minute.
The makers of this app had no clue who uses this app, when people would use it, why they would use the app, they just went ahead and slept a bunch of ads at the wrong time all
Over this app. It’s pretty much unusable because of the untimely adds. It’s a shame , it could’ve been a popular app, it just didn’t make it.
Spam
by Spiker1212 on 2021/11/06 04:31
What a piece of junk. Just a bunch of pop up spam ads for such a simple app. Just total garbageeeeee
Appalling service. Filthy, dangerous and confusing.
by nosir prize on 2021/10/29 23:44
Why does the MTA feel the need to show pop up ads when you are looking at the subway map? It’s pathetic. Compared to any other major city it’s disgusting! Paris, London, Moscow, Tokyo to name but a few. There is not much more irritating than trying to figure out which train to catch but you can’t because an Experian ad pops up repeatedly. NYC subway is filthy, it stinks, it’s unsafe and the map is barely comprehensible! Whoever is advertising on it should be aware that what they are doing is creating badwill for their brand. And whoever runs it should be fired!
Gotta to be the only country in the world where they want you to pay for the subway map app!
too much ads !!!
by sggsheuey on 2021/10/27 19:53
This app used to be good, now it’s horrible. I can’t open map without seeing 4-5 seconds ad. It is so frustrating. I get that they are trying to monetize it but there are other apps we can use without going through these ads. They should develop side banners for ads so that map does not shut off completely.
Constant Ads
by MeliaBK on 2021/10/25 18:53
Not useful when you really need to check a map and just get constant crappy ads with every touch.
Terrible
by Theformergreater on 2021/10/25 02:01
Inaccurate with subway locations and property lines that run there. Inaccurate about stops on correct lines. Offers wrong directions when heading to location or subway entrances.
Terrible, I had used this in the past and it was ok with the exception of ads popping up at the most inconvenient times. Now the app doesn’t even offer correct information. I wasted $10 on a years subscription. Don’t make this mistake.
Advertisement
by Chuckie-d on 2021/10/20 16:30
This is a simple program, that actually the MTA should provided, instead e have to endure advertisement will looking for our routes 🤬
Was good, not anymore
by JC 18765 on 2021/10/17 19:53
The data is wrong for each line so you’ll get fd if you depend on it. Also, if you’re in a hurry and need to see the map for quick 30 seconds you’ll be slapped with a 1 min ad so it’s useless now. Delete
Don’t try to find your way in a hurry
by danyman100 on 2021/10/17 12:51
Nothing is more annoying than trying to find your way only to get interrupted by an ad that seems to never end. Trying to click out of the ad only makes you click on it inadvertently.
This is especially annoying when you’re on the platform, the train rolls in and you’re just about to find what you’re looking for on the map. That ad will make sure that you will not return to the map before that train has closed its doors.
Great App
by Retired Goffy Guard on 2021/10/16 11:56
As a New Yorker this app still comes in handy !! Great to have on my phone !
Ads make it useless
by AppMan212 on 2021/10/15 22:11
This app is constantly popping up full screen ads that are impossible to cancel making it impossible to actually see the map. The are probably making a lot of money from people trying to click to make the ads go away, but instead are brought to the app store. Avoid this app and download the free subway map from the MTA instead.

by vvvvvvbbbccvvccvvc on 2021/10/13 00:51
Used to be a very handy app but now there are so many ads and each ad locks you up for a minute or tWo. The app is no longer of any use unfortunately.

I’ve had the app for several years but haven’t used it in 18 months of Covid. The ads are so bad it’s useless now. It’s essentially only a map. I pay for a lot of apps but this I deleted

Too many ads
by Ck156 on 2021/10/07 00:49
For NYC try My MTA or something that doesn’t make you navigate through ads to get the info you need. It’s really annoying if you need to make a quick decision on what train to take.
Unreasonable amount of commercials
by yb-texas on 2021/10/06 14:03
Unreasonable amount of commercials makes it almost unusable if you need information fast.
Looooong Ads ruin this app
by nycpop on 2021/10/06 12:42
I’ve use this app for several years and didn’t mind relatively short ads. But in the last few months I found the app almost useless as a free app
Unusable
by Tunnelboy66 on 2021/10/04 03:32
Not sure how they managed to get any positive reviews. I guarantee this app will drive you insane with popup ads and monetizing. And there’s not even any way to get rid of most of them. No close box. Junk.
Mr. Chris
by klhnmygds on 2021/10/02 00:17
I get trapped in ads for 10 minutes at a time
Nice app, intrusive ads!
by Impatient New Yorker on 2021/10/01 20:48
Nice app, yet the ads pop up randomly, are intrusive, and require 3-4 clicks and pop up window closures to continue to the content. Annoying when one needs to check the schedule swiftly to make a time-pressed train change decision. It’s made me look for and use other apps. To some extent it’s the price of a free/low cost app, yet the games played to close ads are not features of similar apps. Bad decision management.
Nope.
by hdhskfbj on 2021/09/30 21:08
Used to be the only subway map app I used. Left nyc for a few years and just came back- and suddenly this app is useless. Ads at least 30 seconds long that I can’t get out of, as soon as it’s over and I start to look at the map, I get another ad before I can find what I’m looking for. Four ads in two minutes. Absolutely not. Why would I pay for ad free when tons of over free apps do the same thing?

by onepound/lb on 2021/09/15 13:03
Everyone is in a hurry and no one has time to sit for ads when they are trying to catch a train or get lost on the subway lines. Do not use. Tell your friends not to use. Any person that needs a map should not use.
The full page ads have made this app unusable
by SofiaNRage on 2021/09/13 12:41
The full page ads are close to a minute long, ridiculous
Advertising at its worst
by Silly Ad on 2021/09/12 15:18
This APP should be helpful, it is a map of the subway! But by forcing your user to watch a silly ad before you can even see the map, you have made it unusable! I have deleted it
most annoying pop ups
by migomo on 2021/09/11 13:53
this app would be great , but has the most annoying pop up ads ever. makes it super unusable at times
Crappy
by BZ20 on 2021/09/10 22:07
Despite raising subway fares, this app forces you to watch long ads, and even after that you cannot get out of the ad page. Horrible experience, and all for needing a map. I have deleted it and will use google maps for all subway needs now.
Not helpful at all for out of towners
by Emleecam on 2021/09/10 04:35
How do you use it if you don’t know station names? We clicked on the route planner, put in the to and from addresses, and…nothing. What exactly does this app do??
Quality has decreased
by bkbree89xo on 2021/09/09 17:28
This app used to be really helpful, but there are too many ads that constantly pop up, and you need to wait for them to count down to exit them. And sometimes the Service status isn’t accurate
Ads are ridiculous
by abcdsquare on 2021/09/07 16:57
I understand there need to be ads. But EVERY time the app is opened an ad pops up. Even if you go away from the screen for 30 seconds you are forced to watch a 30 second ad. Some of them are longer and then you wait another 30 seconds or more on the selection page for the option to dismiss. This defeats the purpose of checking on train times when you are trying to figure out what is going on in a particular station.
It wasn’t always this terrible, but the last month or so has been a headache. Nearly useless to gauge train time.
Too many ads
by lilbluefairy98 on 2021/09/05 15:21
Too many ads
Unusable
by Pei Hsu on 2021/09/04 23:54
The app used to be good but I guess the author abandoned the app and is just trying to farm as much ad money as possible.
The un-skippable ads are long and usually don’t have a close button so the app is only good if you want to watch ads.
Great app and information ruined by ads
by Baskffoc on 2021/09/04 15:20
It’s has great information, times, schedule service and other features but you are required to watch a 30-45 sec ad first that shows up 5 secs after opening it. No way around it but watch. I would be whatever about it but ads pop up again after a period of time. Usually at the worse moment when u need to transfer or read about a service change. What’s worse is that these ads are advertising get rich and other scams.
Going to the authentic MTA app.
Unusable due to ads
by Lilli Putian on 2021/09/03 15:49
Trying to have a quick look at the map and being shown a super long ad is extremely annoying. No thank you.
Horrible
by Kyle46895 on 2021/09/03 11:33
Ads pop up the minute you look at a subway line, then never stop.
Annoying ads

Ads make it unusable
by Donut_Tony on 2021/08/29 22:28
The ads in this app have always been awful - popping up, playing annoying audio, and covering the whole screen for several seconds before a tiny “close” button appears. But lately the “close” button doesn’t appear at all, the ads freeze, and I have to force close the app and start over. I’m giving it two stars because the app behind the ads is actually decent.
Infuriating unskippable ads
by owlielu on 2021/08/27 21:53
I cannot exit out of them and they take forever to go away. Maybe a small unobtrusive pop up in the bottom or corner would be fine if the devs HAVE TO have ads running to keep the ap going but I have places to go in town and if I’m trying to get directions in a time sensitive manner and some stupid mobile game app ad comes up it makes it stressful to try and navigate the subway and see where my stops are. I had to delete the app for this reason. This app is garbage for that reason.
The Worst Ever
by for Love" (Kominek), by Alec on 2021/08/25 11:17
An ad came up blocking the map just as a train pulled into the station, couldn’t get rid of it and missed my train!

Improve E & E
by hakim4389 on 2021/06/23 20:00
You currently give location of escalator or elevator within a station only if there is a problem with the E & E in that station. Please consider always giving the E & E location within the station. This would be valuable in planning trips for those who need to use the E & E.
Unofficial NYC app, save the frustration and download the real onr
by Kjhuhvv on 2021/06/22 10:34
This is a unofficial app that simply rebroadcast free info available is a way that's much less useful than the official apps. Any visitors of the new york subway should use the free MyMTA app, or Google maps. The hi res version of the paper maps seems useful until you realize it's just what you would get if you search the web for "MTA large print app" on the web ( and you'd get the same map)
I think apps like these (presenting freely available info with ads or fees) are a blight on the app store as is makes in harder for tourists and visitors to find the real official apps. Tourists beware, find the official apps and maps on New York MTA's official website at app and save the ads and frustration.
Horrendous user experience
by Maddy937669 on 2021/06/18 14:21
Do not download this app. I keep getting ads with no exit button that are not in English.
Decent map, but ads are unbearable
by Sasha2007 on 2021/06/10 00:10
Pulled up the app to check if the A stops at Spring, had to sit through two video ads and missed the Train. Luckily it doesn’t, but I won’t be using this app again
Best overview map of the NYC/NJ transit system
by AdamMatt13066 on 2021/06/07 18:52
With modern navigation apps like google maps and Apple Maps adding transit navigation options, it would seem an app like this one wouldn’t be useful, you would be wrong.
This app is great for an overall view of the subway and a great app to find subway news about closures so that you don’t mistakenly try and and board that train. This app has helped me every time I’ve gone to the city to plan out sites to see and the nearest subway station to those sites and like the modern navigation apps, has a route planner to help navigation from point A to B.
See also the stations that involve walking transfers, like the 14th street transfer from the red to the orange line, so you know when going to the next site you want to go to what your options are.
Best of all, it’s lightweight and doesn’t require cellular or WiFi to just view the map.
Video ads galore!
by JeffTNYC on 2021/06/02 17:07
I installed this app and every time I use it within 15-30 seconds I get a full screen video ad covering everything making the app completely unusable. I constantly get ads over everything when I’m in the subway and need to use a map. Whoever decided it was a good idea to make these ads is a complete moron!

Good app, annoying ads
by Clarknt67 on 2021/05/18 15:48
This app is fine as a mobile subway map with two annoyances. One, the free version plays an interminable video ad before you get to the map. Maybe it is 30 secs but it takes FOREVER. Secondly, though it has location services, the default map view centers Jackson Heights Queens. As far as I can tell there is no way to change that. It is just a minor annoyance to always need to scroll, unless you live in Jackson Heights Queens.
Used to use now I don’t
by Ellle c on 2021/05/16 17:26
This used to be my go to app for the subway. The latest free version is riddled with advertisements that keep you from viewing your route and some advertisements won’t close so you have to close the app and start over.
The free version no longer reports route closures or outages so I’m back to using the mass transportation option on maps.
So many ads

Trains running on other lines
by anothercalifornian on 2021/05/04 01:57
We are first timers and studied the map. We got on the right train and after it departed they announced it was running on a different line. By the time we could pull up our map and the app we were using to find out where we were now going, we were way off track. It added almost an hour to our trip.
Too many ads

Mostly accurate
by Junielle on 2021/04/24 19:58
With all the changes in service, it really helps in planning alternate routes or knowing your line is on schedule and running as it should.
Bombarded with ads
by n_e_p on 2021/04/03 12:34
If any app should be ad-free it’s this one. Just download a PDF of the map and refer to that. Constantly interrupts what you are trying to do with ads.

The most useful way to get around (without looking like a tourist)
by broadband00 on 2021/03/05 13:44
This used to be my favorite subway app (see below). Now at least the free "version" is just a piece of useless garbage. I put quotes around version because it's a fake: there is ZERO functionality. Does not work AT ALL. Just junk.
Old review: love this app. I use it every time I go into the city to figure out where I need to go. When used in conjunction with Google or Apple maps, there is nowhere you can't get to.

Great Simple App - Aggressive Ads
by DMscrub32 on 2021/02/27 16:06
Handy app. The only (and significant) problem I find, is that it pops up with ads for 5-10 secs. During crucial decision time on the platform, this can be just long enough to make you miss a train.
Video ads killed it
by Mari Vinhas on 2021/02/26 16:33
Used to be great. But they are doing video ads now and it killed it. Whenever I open this app, it’s for a 5 second workflow. If there’s a 15+ second video ad in front of it, it’s useless.
Trains

by swapnilplayzreal! on 2021/01/23 21:55
This NYC app is very amazing! It tells my dad how long is the Subway gonna come! Everyone SHOULD USE this app because if you live in NYC you definitely should use this app it’s AMAZING
Too many ads
by Rizzzano on 2021/01/20 19:52
Too many ads that MUST load before you use it. Ended up missing my train. This app used to be great.

It’s so hard to keep it open
ADS ADS ADS
by Grendlemouse746985 on 2021/01/16 17:12
Enough with the pop up ads. Its just a map. You dont have to flood us with ads to look at a static image of a map. Im deleting this and getting another.
Obnoxious ads
by Partenope on 2021/01/15 20:17
Some of the ads — those by Nike in particular— are so long that I have several times had to miss getting on the train because I couldn’t see if it was the one I wanted.
Awesome app!
by Trueblood3333 on 2021/01/12 18:21
With my vision going bad, I can no longer go “old school” and read my print out version of the nyc subway system on an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper so having this app that allows me to enlarge everything is a God send.
Great App
by Leeza1009 on 2020/12/23 13:24
I’m a NY native but moved away and come back to visit often, when ever I’m in New York I use this app to get around. It’s like a personal train GPS! Love it!
This app is not goid
by estelablue96 on 2020/12/21 18:01
This app have to much ads sometimes is hard to close the ads so we can not see the map
Great help for visitors
by hockeygirl634 on 2017/10/11 03:47
As out of Towners visiting NJ and NYC from out of state we were very thankful for the great service we experienced with NYC METRO.
We purchased tickets in the Port Authority and with visitor info maps were able to quickly find routes, determine arrival times, etc.
Sometimes it was difficult to know if we were in the right side of the platform, but after a few close calls we learned to see where the line ran and looked for those stops.
Other riders were kind when we asked questions. The trains were usually very prompt. We didn't wait long at any time of day or night. When a car was full, we could easily wait for another.
Having connections to the NJ bus and centrally located stops made our travels easy and saved some on our walking.
In late night returns and after large entertainment events, I was grateful to see an obvious police presence.
On the trains I was impressed with how clean the cars were, comfortable and well sir-conditioned on hot muggy days. Many cars had boards displaying the line and upcoming stops. Other riders were polite, helpful to each other.
Looking forward to my next visit.

Missing important info
by Seaweedflow on 2017/10/26 17:53
Good map that’s available offline. It’s very useful. I used to have notifications on but it became useless as there are only a few timeframes for notification that you can choose (I find that I get way too many for way too long...even though you only need it just 1 hr before you leave) and the notification itself is not specific about what the change in service is. Not helpful. And I found out that throughout using this app over a couple of years, it doesn’t let you know any weekend service changes - such as trains not running at all or skipping certain stations. This is a different type of notification aside from the usual incident/delay type of service change and it’s somehow hard to know unless you go to a specific page on the MTA website or go to the station to see notice flyers stuck on the wall. I dunno... but I get really annoyed when I go take the train and the train station itself is shut down at the same time it shows “good service” on this app. Now I have to either walk to another line/station and/or rearrange my whole transportation so I’m probably gonna be late for 30 mins.. Hopefully in the future this app can include such important info so we don’t get the run around from MTA so much as we do now.
New York Subway Map
by D. Hill on 2018/10/03 12:03
This is a great application for those who use the NYC subway regularly or even if you are new to the system. First the app is well designed allowing users to easily bounce from section to section with a simple tap to the top pop up menu. The app covers all the basics whether you want to create a route, save a train line as a favorite, look up the latest alerts, and navigate the subway map. The app not only covers the essentials but provides extras such as an included New York City Guide that allows users to read up on all the facets of the city whether it be the attractions, or the infrastructure services that help guide the public in their daily lives. It is all included in the guide. The app also gives users a choice in whether they want a ad free experience or a premium version in which you can avoid them. This is highly recommended app for NYC travelers in general whether you use the subway a lot or not.
Good except at the last/first stop
by TR Engineer on 2017/09/14 22:06
The app is great and usually very accurate with the train times when I am coming home from work. However, the app seems to have an issue with dictating southbound train times at the final stop (terminal) of the train I take. I take the 5 train from and to Eastchester-Dyre Avenue. Whenever I select this station it only shows northbound trains but never southbound ones. I wouldn't mind if it only showed southbound trains because those are the ones leaving the station. Other than this issue the app has been great and very useful to my daily commute.
First time reviewing an app...
by daves first review of an app on 2019/06/21 00:42
...and I’ve come because this app has finally motivated me to take even more time out of my day to warn the masses that this thing is a complete and utter fail. You have one job to do. Show the subway map. When I’m rolling up to an unfamiliar subway stop, I unearth this unholy thing to quickly find a transfer or express train. And it makes you WAIT for inane amounts of time by displaying a full page advertisement. And while you’re clicking around trying to find out how to X out of the thing, or waiting for the video ad to finish, that last minute subway knowledge you needed sails away. And you wail. Well I ain’t wailing for the benefit of my co-commuters anymore. I’m wailing to the masses via the ratings board. And it feels good. Don’t use this crap. Not until they figure out how to put an ad in the bottom of the map screen, or anywhere that isn’t obscuring the information you need. Boom.
Use Google instead this app will only make you hate this app
by NYfirstmer on 2019/05/04 03:55
Went to NY for first time. App DOES give you very accurate info on the trains, but does not track walking movement well at all which is essential to find the right platform to get on a train in the first place. And does not tell you which side of track to be on. Hardest part was finding where to catch a train, and since the app didn’t track waking well or have a directional pointer to show which way you’re headed as you move your phone, it often had us going back and forth changing direction. then when we finally found a platform and got there we’d still have to ask someone if we were on the correct side heading in right direction.
Just asking google was much easier and google lets you know exactly what time train is leaving.
Good thing is NYers were the MOST helpful people in the world.
Too intrusive monetization
by jarcec on 2019/09/23 14:21
On one side I understand the need to monetize the app, after all nothing is really for free. However the way monetization is introduced into the app is way too intrusive and more often then not interfere with the ability to use the app.
Quite frequently the app forces full screen advertisements which on its own isn’t that bad, but coupled with spotty reception in the subway, I found myself very often opening the app and then the app opening full screen advert video and not loading anything due to missing reception. No way to discard the black screen without restarting the app. Making the app basically useless.
I would rather recommend to use official MTA app that doesn’t have this problem even though that getting to some aspects (like map) takes few more clicks.
Unusable advertising bombardment
by Darin S on 2020/01/12 23:31
The app borders on being unusable since it just spams you with fullscreen ads anytime you open it. I don’t have an issue with advertising, but when it hinders your ability to actually use the app then it makes that app pointless.
Most people use this app to check the subway map quickly on the train platform to make sure they get on the right train. But anytime you attempt to do so, you have 3 seconds before ads take up the entire screen and block your access to the map. After a period of time the ad allows you to close it, but then a second ad pops up when you do so. By the time it allows you to close that one, the train you were trying to get info on has already come and gone.
Best overview map of the NYC/NJ transit system
by AdamMatt13066 on 2021/06/07 18:52
With modern navigation apps like google maps and Apple Maps adding transit navigation options, it would seem an app like this one wouldn’t be useful, you would be wrong.
This app is great for an overall view of the subway and a great app to find subway news about closures so that you don’t mistakenly try and and board that train. This app has helped me every time I’ve gone to the city to plan out sites to see and the nearest subway station to those sites and like the modern navigation apps, has a route planner to help navigation from point A to B.
See also the stations that involve walking transfers, like the 14th street transfer from the red to the orange line, so you know when going to the next site you want to go to what your options are.
Best of all, it’s lightweight and doesn’t require cellular or WiFi to just view the map.
Good enough
by Readin'junkie on 2019/07/10 23:12
I’ve been using this app for at least 3 years and it’s good enough for most things. However, a major annoyance is that it can be hard to plan a route when you’re not sure what the street address of your end stop is. For example, if you’re trying to go to the 23rd street stop on the 1 from 96th street, you can enter your start stop by clicking on it, but then you have to choose your destination from a list that’s like “23rd street / 7th Avenue” or “23rd street / 6th Avenue” or “23rd street / Broadway”. Subway lines don’t nearly follow avenues so it’s annoying to have to try 2 or 3 stations until you find the right one.
I have 2 possible solutions:
A) the subway line icon should be placed next to the station in the drop down list or
B) even better, you can choose BOTH the start and the end station from the map, not a drop down list, when you plan your route.
Hope you can improve this feature some time soon!
Old timer
by M.Macy on 2018/04/30 16:03
Had not been in NY since I was in my 20's ...now nearly 50 years ago!
This app and a paper subway map of the city got me everywhere from Brooklyn to uptown, the battery, you name it, and back to Prospect Park where I was staying with my son for a week. NY is a great town and I had a magnificent time covering it on foot and by subway. This app was invaluable. It made everything so possible to navigate that I often felt Time was delightfully still - and I moving about the city with the confidence
of youth. Thank you. M. Macy, artist
Bad news APP
by woo wee bubba on 2018/05/10 16:48
Doesn’t work well, click on route planner, put Penn Station to destination address and there’s no where to click or tap on submit etc. in order to receive the route or witch subway train to take... Hard to use not user-friendly. ********************************** 2nd review regarding your RESPONSE: thank you for your response. If I knew the station I was going to, I wouldn’t need the APP, ryt? My issue was, I didn’t know which train or train line to take from PENN station. That’s why I used the app in the first place, to find out which train line to use, which stop to get off at. The app could not give me that information. As you stated in your response, it doesn’t work with addresses. Perhaps you could fix that in the future, going forward. Thank you For your initial reply.
Useful app (ads have become annoying)
by ProfessorHines on 2017/10/20 04:59
This app is my go to when I may need to get around due to unexpected detours on the train or need to plan a different away around an area I may not be familiar with.
The ads however have really become the downfall of this app, as before they use to pop up and you could close but each one is a video with audio which you have to wait to close. It didn’t use to be this intrusive. I know ads are needed for funding but the new ad method is going to kill this app.
I highly recommend people to pay to have ads removed. You’ll thank me later.
Ads are ridiculous
by abcdsquare on 2021/09/07 16:57
I understand there need to be ads. But EVERY time the app is opened an ad pops up. Even if you go away from the screen for 30 seconds you are forced to watch a 30 second ad. Some of them are longer and then you wait another 30 seconds or more on the selection page for the option to dismiss. This defeats the purpose of checking on train times when you are trying to figure out what is going on in a particular station.
It wasn’t always this terrible, but the last month or so has been a headache. Nearly useless to gauge train time.
Unofficial NYC app, save the frustration and download the real onr
by Kjhuhvv on 2021/06/22 10:34
This is a unofficial app that simply rebroadcast free info available is a way that's much less useful than the official apps. Any visitors of the new york subway should use the free MyMTA app, or Google maps. The hi res version of the paper maps seems useful until you realize it's just what you would get if you search the web for "MTA large print app" on the web ( and you'd get the same map)
I think apps like these (presenting freely available info with ads or fees) are a blight on the app store as is makes in harder for tourists and visitors to find the real official apps. Tourists beware, find the official apps and maps on New York MTA's official website at app and save the ads and frustration.
Too many ads.
by dhrifjskrn on 2020/01/04 23:06
I especially don’t like the fact that it opens with an ad causing a delay to get to the map. Sometimes, when you need to jump off or on a train because your route is suddenly changing, this delay can cause a person to miss making the move in time. Very frustrating. This should be a public service. You are already collecting what I consider to be a hefty fee for the service. And whether the cost is an actual additional fee to get rid of the ads, or the loss of help when you need it, it’s obnoxious. A functional, friendly map to help people use that service should not come at an additional cost to the user.
Intrusive ads make app unusable in for quick decisions on the train platform
by fjdurhegeudje on 2021/11/18 05:05
Ads pop up immediately whenever you first open the app, last too long, and can’t be immediately closed. It won’t give you problems if you’re checking the map with time to spare, but if you ever find yourself needing this app to help you make a snap decision re: boarding an unexpected train that has just pulled up to the platform, you won’t have time to close out the inevitable ads and check the map before the train departs.
There are other free nyc subway map apps that don’t frontload unskippable ads. This one isn’t going to ruin your life, but there’s just no reason to download it over the others.
I was mistaken, app remains superb
by E. Miaru on 2017/12/19 00:05
[previously wrote] "Suddenly I'm getting full-screen pop-ups that are hard to dismiss, in the PAID version.
Small update: after I wrote the above, dev. issued an update for iPhone X. Pop-ups are now easier to dismiss, but no less intrusive. Paid users should be limited to only the most discreet ads possible, if any, imo.
I added two stars to my orig. rating which I believe is fair. The app is generally very effective and useful."
Another update: thanks to the developers I learned that I was only getting ads because I got a new phone and hadn't restored the app fully. Here I thought I'd been betrayed. My apologies to them for being a dunce. Rating amended accordingly.
Addresses don’t work
by I'm John on 2017/11/17 14:52
I can’t believe I paid for this. It’s only barely good for having a subway map. If you don’t know the name of the station you’re going to this app is useless.
You can not type in an address and have it give you the nearest station. A waste of money. I’m sorry I paid for the ad free version. They don’t deserve the money, neither do the ad companies!
Mapway sent me an email saying that their app can find nearest location but they failed to mention that it doesn’t do point to point. You have to know the subway stop you’re going to for the app to tell you how to get there. WELL if I knew that I wouldn’t need the app in the first place!
I’ll stick with Apple Maps and consider the $3’s a donation maybe they can get a clue.
Appalling service. Filthy, dangerous and confusing.
by nosir prize on 2021/10/29 23:44
Why does the MTA feel the need to show pop up ads when you are looking at the subway map? It’s pathetic. Compared to any other major city it’s disgusting! Paris, London, Moscow, Tokyo to name but a few. There is not much more irritating than trying to figure out which train to catch but you can’t because an Experian ad pops up repeatedly. NYC subway is filthy, it stinks, it’s unsafe and the map is barely comprehensible! Whoever is advertising on it should be aware that what they are doing is creating badwill for their brand. And whoever runs it should be fired!
Gotta to be the only country in the world where they want you to pay for the subway map app!
Not for the 'on the go' New Yorker
by jack gerritsen on 2020/01/05 14:27
This app does everything right. It helps you plan your routes and shows the status of each line in a nice package. It's so nice, which makes it infuriating that the usefulness of the app is hindered by advertisements that block the entire screen. I don't particularly mind banner advertisements that show up on the ends of the screen, but it's very frustrating to have an ad that you have to wait five seconds before skipping when you need to make a decision in which seconds count. It's come to the point where I dread the thought if opening the app. NYC waits for no one, so don't wait for an ad.
New ads make this unusable
by totaljunkstuff on 2019/01/12 15:24
Do not download - app used to be good, then they started full page ads that load when you open the app ... which was OK as they could be closed quickly.
Why this matters: when you go to look at a map you often only have a few seconds before your potential train arrives - the info needs to be quickly accessible or you’ll literally make a bad transit choice costing you time and frustration.
New video ads are now displaying and can’t be closed for a long period of time making this app essentially useless - it’s faster to load a nyc map PDF in the pdf reader
Ads absolutely kill it
by SenseiTse on 2019/01/19 05:01
If you need to access the map quickly (for example to check if you can transfer to a different line at a particular station) you’ll get hit with an annoying ad that lasts longer than the time it would take to get up and look at the map on the train itself (or to pull up a saved picture of the subway system). If you’re wearing headphones, they’ll also kill your music and possibly your ears as some are very loud.
If you’re from out of town and planning your trip in advance and are not worried about urgency, you might as well use google maps.
Inaccurate countdown clocks
by JRglendale on 2018/05/31 14:39
App is decent. Service statuses seem to be fairly accurate, however the countdown clocks always seem to be missing the closest train. For example, the countdown clock will say the next train is 8 mins away, when really the next train is 3 mins away. There may be one 8 mins away, but the most important info, the next closest train, isn’t always on there. This makes trying to time transfers to/from express trains difficult and often leads me to not even check the countdown clocks on the app or open the app because it’s not correct and/or missing train arrivals. So what’s the point of the countdown clocks if they’re not correct?
Good, but dropping due to the obnoxious ADS!
by amberfrances23 on 2018/08/30 14:25
This is a pretty decent app for navigating the NYC subway system. The time clocks are usually correct, or close enough. But the advertisements have become increasingly obnoxious and intrusive. Checking the updated train time while in transit or transferring has become pointless because you are now forced to sit through a 10-15 second ad before you can close the ad out and get on with the train time. The train time you get a glimpse of before the ad pops up is not live. This app is not worth it in my opinion.
Is the App really worth the annoyance?
by transit-toe on 2018/07/23 11:33
I understand that for an App to be profitable it needs to sell advertising. That’s fine and dandy however when the advertising cannot be readily closed to actually use the App, it becomes useless.
There have been many instances where information was needed immediately to make an informed decision and was blocked by advertising that could not be closed.
Put it to you this way......., I will be looking at OTHER Apps.
Good app, annoying ads
by Clarknt67 on 2021/05/18 15:48
This app is fine as a mobile subway map with two annoyances. One, the free version plays an interminable video ad before you get to the map. Maybe it is 30 secs but it takes FOREVER. Secondly, though it has location services, the default map view centers Jackson Heights Queens. As far as I can tell there is no way to change that. It is just a minor annoyance to always need to scroll, unless you live in Jackson Heights Queens.
advertising at the worst time
by Mr. Bean1000 on 2021/11/07 02:25
You are late to work, running out of time, you open this app trying to find out if there are any service changes. Guess what? You are hit by an advertisement that runs for a whole minute.
The makers of this app had no clue who uses this app, when people would use it, why they would use the app, they just went ahead and slept a bunch of ads at the wrong time all
Over this app. It’s pretty much unusable because of the untimely adds. It’s a shame , it could’ve been a popular app, it just didn’t make it.
Could be good, but annoying design
by paulraphael on 2018/06/22 01:11
The app nags you about notifications being turned off unless you have every notification option turned on. This is just terrible. I don’t want them all turned on. Leave me alone.
It also shows ads in a deliberately intrusive way. A full screen ad comes on right when you need to use the app, and there’s a little my pause before you can dismiss it. I can be enticed into paying for a good app but will not be BULLIED into paying for a hostile one.
Another developer that hates its users.
Nice app, intrusive ads!
by Impatient New Yorker on 2021/10/01 20:48
Nice app, yet the ads pop up randomly, are intrusive, and require 3-4 clicks and pop up window closures to continue to the content. Annoying when one needs to check the schedule swiftly to make a time-pressed train change decision. It’s made me look for and use other apps. To some extent it’s the price of a free/low cost app, yet the games played to close ads are not features of similar apps. Bad decision management.
Useful but ads not appreciated.
by Jewel2098 on 2018/10/30 20:30
Very useful to pull up a map quickly... EXCEPT when you’re bombarded by an ad within 1-2 secs and within that timeframe, you’ve missed the train you weren’t sure if you were supposed to take. Especially the AnastasiaDate ad with a scantily clad woman and porn music automatically playing- inappropriate if you pulled up the app at work... deleting this app.
Do not use
by Brooklyn Meditator on 2018/09/29 22:01
When planning a route, the app does not take into account things like weekend track work even though elsewhere in the app (as I eventually discovered) it provides info on weekend service status. So while the trip planner said my trip would take 52 minutes, it in fact took 95. I could have driven or taken an Uber for a 45 minute trip, which I know since I’ve driven the route many times in the past, but thought hey why not just take the train. I could have even taken a different train route that would have been much faster. What an counterproductive waste.
Great app and information ruined by ads
by Baskffoc on 2021/09/04 15:20
It’s has great information, times, schedule service and other features but you are required to watch a 30-45 sec ad first that shows up 5 secs after opening it. No way around it but watch. I would be whatever about it but ads pop up again after a period of time. Usually at the worse moment when u need to transfer or read about a service change. What’s worse is that these ads are advertising get rich and other scams.
Going to the authentic MTA app.
Best in class
by mr100percent on 2018/10/06 19:40
I’ve tried multiple subway apps and this one is easily my favorite. It’s simple to use, the map is easy to read and zoom, and tapping on a station brings up options including the countdown clocks. And all this is in the free version. I’m deleting my other subway apps and using this one.
Infuriating unskippable ads
by owlielu on 2021/08/27 21:53
I cannot exit out of them and they take forever to go away. Maybe a small unobtrusive pop up in the bottom or corner would be fine if the devs HAVE TO have ads running to keep the ap going but I have places to go in town and if I’m trying to get directions in a time sensitive manner and some stupid mobile game app ad comes up it makes it stressful to try and navigate the subway and see where my stops are. I had to delete the app for this reason. This app is garbage for that reason.
Bad
by smhwjs on 2019/07/29 03:40
Horrible. Late to reservations because of this app. The app says that it shows when stations have problems but failed to tell us the station I selected was completely closed going down town and there was no info about it until we had crossed through the barrier. Currently doing 40 mins of extra traveling because of this.
Re: I kept the app through the week to see if i was just using it wrong and it still has yet to be of use. I am better off just guessing where I’m going.
Used to be worth the ads. Not anymore.
by just another guy in New York on 2018/11/11 21:51
I’m deleting your app. I get that things aren’t free. But all I have ever used your app for was to see the MTA map. And I just had to sit through a 30 second commercial. Banners were fine. A good quick page I could see and close out of was fine. But 30 seconds to see a map that I’m going to just download?
Just wanted you to know. Hoping you fix this for other users. I almost missed my train waiting for your ad to complete. The service provided is not worth it.
Don’t try to find your way in a hurry
by danyman100 on 2021/10/17 12:51
Nothing is more annoying than trying to find your way only to get interrupted by an ad that seems to never end. Trying to click out of the ad only makes you click on it inadvertently.
This is especially annoying when you’re on the platform, the train rolls in and you’re just about to find what you’re looking for on the map. That ad will make sure that you will not return to the map before that train has closed its doors.
Good app, HORRIBLE ADVERTISING
by LoveLy_Burnout on 2020/01/19 03:05
I really enjoyed this app until each and every time I tried to use it to check the train schedule the “ADS” that popped up are of half naked men advertising some gay hookup app. Not only do I find this stereotyping extremely demeaning but also disgusting that I have to be in public while these targeted ads pop up on my phone. That is not the type of lifestyle I live nor do I appreciate the insinuation. So final thoughts... DONT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. They are more concerned with advertising then they are with you using the actual app. They should be ashamed.
Ads make it unusable
by Donut_Tony on 2021/08/29 22:28
The ads in this app have always been awful - popping up, playing annoying audio, and covering the whole screen for several seconds before a tiny “close” button appears. But lately the “close” button doesn’t appear at all, the ads freeze, and I have to force close the app and start over. I’m giving it two stars because the app behind the ads is actually decent.
Free version is almost unusable
by RPI_Grad on 2019/12/22 22:02
I’ve used this app happily for quite a while. I’m familiar with ad-supported apps, but the recent changes to this app have made the free version almost unusable. Just when you’re trying to see something important or time-sensitive, the ads commandeer the entire screen. It’s a really bad user experience, even an for ad-supported app. Perhaps the paid version is great, but since I need this info only when I’m in NYC occasionally, I’ll be deleting this app and using the MTA PDF file.
Ads interrupting your emergency search
by เนลดา จารุทวิโชติ on 2018/06/15 15:24
Don’t mind ads but don’t use this when you’re in a rush. As soon as you open the app to the service status right before you can check anything the ad pops, imagine when you’re in a train changing stop and connection is limited platform to platform you trying search and the ad pops then you lost connection again :(( You don’t even get to search anything. A lot of my local New Yorkers friends use the other free apps and they never have problems with ads interrupting.
Ok.
by Shwistch on 2017/10/28 15:59
The map is al I see useful and a map can be obtained anywhere. It needs lots of improvements. Also, the adds should not pop up when you are looking for an address, specially when in a rush. I know thats how they make money, but, think about a better way of advertisement.
Review of NYC Subway

Lack of maintenance and management but wasting tax payer and riders money w/o improving renovating to a more efficient 21st Century bullet speed transportation network system. Year by year MTA keep wasting money to do non-efficient lousy maintenance work for an over 100 years old obsolete, out of date transportation system which is comparable to Africa’s 3rd world’s. While other countries are running bullet speed train system to increase efficiency for a 21st Century technology competition!
NYC subway
by Msnuxoll on 2018/03/30 02:24
Hey! There’s this app called nyc subway. I think this app is great because I love that it has train routes.I recommend that you should
get this app only if you need it if
you’re riding the M.T.A.
-This review was written by my 6 year old son who loves the MTA as well as this app. He was very happy to see your response! Thank you
Waste of money!!!!
by Manimal138 on 2019/10/18 21:24
You buy this app and unlock the features for $20 and it doesn’t have any type of tutorial to teach you how to use it. It doesn’t recognize landmarks of New York City by name you have to use the physical address. You could just use Google Maps for that! Do yourself a favor and just UBER anyway. Subway and transit is so out of touch with technology that it’s almost impossible to decipher unless you live in the City.
Not clear when stops are down
by Bhmrck on 2019/02/18 16:14
This app is generally really good-BUT PLEASE MAKE IT CLEAR WHEN I STATION IS DOWN!!!
I had to go digging to see if they even mentioned the fact that the 103rd Street stop is closed. All the train times are listed there as if it’s up and running, and all the alerts when clicking on that stop have NOTHING to do with the closure. Super frustrating!!
Worst app due to intrusive advertisements
by Bb10281028 on 2018/12/23 20:24
I usually don’t write reviews and have been using this for some time. It used to be good. Did it’s job. It basically shows MTA map. But everyone you open the app there is a full screen ad with an x on top to close it. When you hit the x another ad open up with another x at a different place.
Traveling in NYC sometimes you have to open app quickly to not miss the train and the above mentioned quirks makes it useless.
The most useful way to get around (without looking like a tourist)
by broadband00 on 2021/03/05 13:44
This used to be my favorite subway app (see below). Now at least the free "version" is just a piece of useless garbage. I put quotes around version because it's a fake: there is ZERO functionality. Does not work AT ALL. Just junk.
Old review: love this app. I use it every time I go into the city to figure out where I need to go. When used in conjunction with Google or Apple maps, there is nowhere you can't get to.

Intrusive ads make app unusable in for quick decisions on the train platform
by fjdurhegeudje on 2021/11/18 05:05
Ads pop up immediately whenever you first open the app, last too long, and can’t be immediately closed. It won’t give you problems if you’re checking the map with time to spare, but if you ever find yourself needing this app to help you make a snap decision re: boarding an unexpected train that has just pulled up to the platform, you won’t have time to close out the inevitable ads and check the map before the train departs.
There are other free nyc subway map apps that don’t frontload unskippable ads. This one isn’t going to ruin your life, but there’s just no reason to download it over the others.
Turn off the screaming ads
by Wicked tuff on 2021/11/11 14:00
Whose stupid idea was it to compromise the safety of riders by preventing them access to the map with a screaming ad?
It prevents riders from quick access to whether or not an arriving train goes where they want and eliminates privacy.
I already paid to ride the train. If the official app of the MTA isn’t going to assist riders unless they pay then it shouldn’t be the official app.
Heinous
advertising at the worst time
by Mr. Bean1000 on 2021/11/07 02:25
You are late to work, running out of time, you open this app trying to find out if there are any service changes. Guess what? You are hit by an advertisement that runs for a whole minute.
The makers of this app had no clue who uses this app, when people would use it, why they would use the app, they just went ahead and slept a bunch of ads at the wrong time all
Over this app. It’s pretty much unusable because of the untimely adds. It’s a shame , it could’ve been a popular app, it just didn’t make it.
Spam
by Spiker1212 on 2021/11/06 04:31
What a piece of junk. Just a bunch of pop up spam ads for such a simple app. Just total garbageeeeee
Appalling service. Filthy, dangerous and confusing.
by nosir prize on 2021/10/29 23:44
Why does the MTA feel the need to show pop up ads when you are looking at the subway map? It’s pathetic. Compared to any other major city it’s disgusting! Paris, London, Moscow, Tokyo to name but a few. There is not much more irritating than trying to figure out which train to catch but you can’t because an Experian ad pops up repeatedly. NYC subway is filthy, it stinks, it’s unsafe and the map is barely comprehensible! Whoever is advertising on it should be aware that what they are doing is creating badwill for their brand. And whoever runs it should be fired!
Gotta to be the only country in the world where they want you to pay for the subway map app!
too much ads !!!
by sggsheuey on 2021/10/27 19:53
This app used to be good, now it’s horrible. I can’t open map without seeing 4-5 seconds ad. It is so frustrating. I get that they are trying to monetize it but there are other apps we can use without going through these ads. They should develop side banners for ads so that map does not shut off completely.
Constant Ads
by MeliaBK on 2021/10/25 18:53
Not useful when you really need to check a map and just get constant crappy ads with every touch.
Terrible
by Theformergreater on 2021/10/25 02:01
Inaccurate with subway locations and property lines that run there. Inaccurate about stops on correct lines. Offers wrong directions when heading to location or subway entrances.
Terrible, I had used this in the past and it was ok with the exception of ads popping up at the most inconvenient times. Now the app doesn’t even offer correct information. I wasted $10 on a years subscription. Don’t make this mistake.
Advertisement
by Chuckie-d on 2021/10/20 16:30
This is a simple program, that actually the MTA should provided, instead e have to endure advertisement will looking for our routes 🤬
Was good, not anymore
by JC 18765 on 2021/10/17 19:53
The data is wrong for each line so you’ll get fd if you depend on it. Also, if you’re in a hurry and need to see the map for quick 30 seconds you’ll be slapped with a 1 min ad so it’s useless now. Delete
Don’t try to find your way in a hurry
by danyman100 on 2021/10/17 12:51
Nothing is more annoying than trying to find your way only to get interrupted by an ad that seems to never end. Trying to click out of the ad only makes you click on it inadvertently.
This is especially annoying when you’re on the platform, the train rolls in and you’re just about to find what you’re looking for on the map. That ad will make sure that you will not return to the map before that train has closed its doors.
Great App
by Retired Goffy Guard on 2021/10/16 11:56
As a New Yorker this app still comes in handy !! Great to have on my phone !
Ads make it useless
by AppMan212 on 2021/10/15 22:11
This app is constantly popping up full screen ads that are impossible to cancel making it impossible to actually see the map. The are probably making a lot of money from people trying to click to make the ads go away, but instead are brought to the app store. Avoid this app and download the free subway map from the MTA instead.
It’s bad
by Olaalo21 on 2021/10/14 17:41
Tooo much commercial
Too many ads
by vvvvvvbbbccvvccvvc on 2021/10/13 00:51
Used to be a very handy app but now there are so many ads and each ad locks you up for a minute or tWo. The app is no longer of any use unfortunately.
Too many ads
by boyd lanks on 2021/10/12 16:52
Ads come in way too frequently and the subscription costs are way too much for a map
Yuck !
by jk870$$ on 2021/10/11 17:12
Way too many annoying pop up ads that are difficult to delete
Loud, intrusive ads
by zoofossil on 2021/10/11 16:42
Pain in the neck.
Gotten annoying
by johnny B 79 on 2021/10/09 22:17
I’ve had the app for several years but haven’t used it in 18 months of Covid. The ads are so bad it’s useless now. It’s essentially only a map. I pay for a lot of apps but this I deleted
Simple and fast
by Bill7862 on 2021/10/09 03:01
It is simple and easy to use
Too many ads
by Just Trying to Find My Subway on 2021/10/07 14:43
I’ve had it open for less than a minute and have had two ads that last more than 15 sec.
Too many ads
by Ck156 on 2021/10/07 00:49
For NYC try My MTA or something that doesn’t make you navigate through ads to get the info you need. It’s really annoying if you need to make a quick decision on what train to take.
Unreasonable amount of commercials
by yb-texas on 2021/10/06 14:03
Unreasonable amount of commercials makes it almost unusable if you need information fast.
Looooong Ads ruin this app
by nycpop on 2021/10/06 12:42
I’ve use this app for several years and didn’t mind relatively short ads. But in the last few months I found the app almost useless as a free app
Unusable
by Tunnelboy66 on 2021/10/04 03:32
Not sure how they managed to get any positive reviews. I guarantee this app will drive you insane with popup ads and monetizing. And there’s not even any way to get rid of most of them. No close box. Junk.
Mr. Chris
by klhnmygds on 2021/10/02 00:17
I get trapped in ads for 10 minutes at a time
Nice app, intrusive ads!
by Impatient New Yorker on 2021/10/01 20:48
Nice app, yet the ads pop up randomly, are intrusive, and require 3-4 clicks and pop up window closures to continue to the content. Annoying when one needs to check the schedule swiftly to make a time-pressed train change decision. It’s made me look for and use other apps. To some extent it’s the price of a free/low cost app, yet the games played to close ads are not features of similar apps. Bad decision management.
Nope.

Used to be the only subway map app I used. Left nyc for a few years and just came back- and suddenly this app is useless. Ads at least 30 seconds long that I can’t get out of, as soon as it’s over and I start to look at the map, I get another ad before I can find what I’m looking for. Four ads in two minutes. Absolutely not. Why would I pay for ad free when tons of over free apps do the same thing?

Everyone is in a hurry and no one has time to sit for ads when they are trying to catch a train or get lost on the subway lines. Do not use. Tell your friends not to use. Any person that needs a map should not use.
The full page ads have made this app unusable

The full page ads are close to a minute long, ridiculous
Advertising at its worst
by Silly Ad on 2021/09/12 15:18
This APP should be helpful, it is a map of the subway! But by forcing your user to watch a silly ad before you can even see the map, you have made it unusable! I have deleted it

by BZ20 on 2021/09/10 22:07
Despite raising subway fares, this app forces you to watch long ads, and even after that you cannot get out of the ad page. Horrible experience, and all for needing a map. I have deleted it and will use google maps for all subway needs now.
Not helpful at all for out of towners
by Emleecam on 2021/09/10 04:35
How do you use it if you don’t know station names? We clicked on the route planner, put in the to and from addresses, and…nothing. What exactly does this app do??
Quality has decreased
by bkbree89xo on 2021/09/09 17:28
This app used to be really helpful, but there are too many ads that constantly pop up, and you need to wait for them to count down to exit them. And sometimes the Service status isn’t accurate
Ads are ridiculous
by abcdsquare on 2021/09/07 16:57
I understand there need to be ads. But EVERY time the app is opened an ad pops up. Even if you go away from the screen for 30 seconds you are forced to watch a 30 second ad. Some of them are longer and then you wait another 30 seconds or more on the selection page for the option to dismiss. This defeats the purpose of checking on train times when you are trying to figure out what is going on in a particular station.
It wasn’t always this terrible, but the last month or so has been a headache. Nearly useless to gauge train time.

Unusable
by Pei Hsu on 2021/09/04 23:54
The app used to be good but I guess the author abandoned the app and is just trying to farm as much ad money as possible.
The un-skippable ads are long and usually don’t have a close button so the app is only good if you want to watch ads.
Great app and information ruined by ads
by Baskffoc on 2021/09/04 15:20
It’s has great information, times, schedule service and other features but you are required to watch a 30-45 sec ad first that shows up 5 secs after opening it. No way around it but watch. I would be whatever about it but ads pop up again after a period of time. Usually at the worse moment when u need to transfer or read about a service change. What’s worse is that these ads are advertising get rich and other scams.
Going to the authentic MTA app.

by Donut_Tony on 2021/08/29 22:28
The ads in this app have always been awful - popping up, playing annoying audio, and covering the whole screen for several seconds before a tiny “close” button appears. But lately the “close” button doesn’t appear at all, the ads freeze, and I have to force close the app and start over. I’m giving it two stars because the app behind the ads is actually decent.
Infuriating unskippable ads
by owlielu on 2021/08/27 21:53
I cannot exit out of them and they take forever to go away. Maybe a small unobtrusive pop up in the bottom or corner would be fine if the devs HAVE TO have ads running to keep the ap going but I have places to go in town and if I’m trying to get directions in a time sensitive manner and some stupid mobile game app ad comes up it makes it stressful to try and navigate the subway and see where my stops are. I had to delete the app for this reason. This app is garbage for that reason.

You currently give location of escalator or elevator within a station only if there is a problem with the E & E in that station. Please consider always giving the E & E location within the station. This would be valuable in planning trips for those who need to use the E & E.
Unofficial NYC app, save the frustration and download the real onr
by Kjhuhvv on 2021/06/22 10:34
This is a unofficial app that simply rebroadcast free info available is a way that's much less useful than the official apps. Any visitors of the new york subway should use the free MyMTA app, or Google maps. The hi res version of the paper maps seems useful until you realize it's just what you would get if you search the web for "MTA large print app" on the web ( and you'd get the same map)
I think apps like these (presenting freely available info with ads or fees) are a blight on the app store as is makes in harder for tourists and visitors to find the real official apps. Tourists beware, find the official apps and maps on New York MTA's official website at app and save the ads and frustration.

Best overview map of the NYC/NJ transit system
by AdamMatt13066 on 2021/06/07 18:52
With modern navigation apps like google maps and Apple Maps adding transit navigation options, it would seem an app like this one wouldn’t be useful, you would be wrong.
This app is great for an overall view of the subway and a great app to find subway news about closures so that you don’t mistakenly try and and board that train. This app has helped me every time I’ve gone to the city to plan out sites to see and the nearest subway station to those sites and like the modern navigation apps, has a route planner to help navigation from point A to B.
See also the stations that involve walking transfers, like the 14th street transfer from the red to the orange line, so you know when going to the next site you want to go to what your options are.
Best of all, it’s lightweight and doesn’t require cellular or WiFi to just view the map.

Good app, annoying ads
by Clarknt67 on 2021/05/18 15:48
This app is fine as a mobile subway map with two annoyances. One, the free version plays an interminable video ad before you get to the map. Maybe it is 30 secs but it takes FOREVER. Secondly, though it has location services, the default map view centers Jackson Heights Queens. As far as I can tell there is no way to change that. It is just a minor annoyance to always need to scroll, unless you live in Jackson Heights Queens.
Used to use now I don’t
by Ellle c on 2021/05/16 17:26
This used to be my go to app for the subway. The latest free version is riddled with advertisements that keep you from viewing your route and some advertisements won’t close so you have to close the app and start over.
The free version no longer reports route closures or outages so I’m back to using the mass transportation option on maps.

Trains running on other lines
by anothercalifornian on 2021/05/04 01:57
We are first timers and studied the map. We got on the right train and after it departed they announced it was running on a different line. By the time we could pull up our map and the app we were using to find out where we were now going, we were way off track. It added almost an hour to our trip.

This used to be my favorite subway app (see below). Now at least the free "version" is just a piece of useless garbage. I put quotes around version because it's a fake: there is ZERO functionality. Does not work AT ALL. Just junk.
Old review: love this app. I use it every time I go into the city to figure out where I need to go. When used in conjunction with Google or Apple maps, there is nowhere you can't get to.

Handy app. The only (and significant) problem I find, is that it pops up with ads for 5-10 secs. During crucial decision time on the platform, this can be just long enough to make you miss a train.
Video ads killed it

Great help for visitors
by hockeygirl634 on 2017/10/11 03:47
As out of Towners visiting NJ and NYC from out of state we were very thankful for the great service we experienced with NYC METRO.
We purchased tickets in the Port Authority and with visitor info maps were able to quickly find routes, determine arrival times, etc.
Sometimes it was difficult to know if we were in the right side of the platform, but after a few close calls we learned to see where the line ran and looked for those stops.
Other riders were kind when we asked questions. The trains were usually very prompt. We didn't wait long at any time of day or night. When a car was full, we could easily wait for another.
Having connections to the NJ bus and centrally located stops made our travels easy and saved some on our walking.
In late night returns and after large entertainment events, I was grateful to see an obvious police presence.
On the trains I was impressed with how clean the cars were, comfortable and well sir-conditioned on hot muggy days. Many cars had boards displaying the line and upcoming stops. Other riders were polite, helpful to each other.
Looking forward to my next visit.

Missing important info
by Seaweedflow on 2017/10/26 17:53
Good map that’s available offline. It’s very useful. I used to have notifications on but it became useless as there are only a few timeframes for notification that you can choose (I find that I get way too many for way too long...even though you only need it just 1 hr before you leave) and the notification itself is not specific about what the change in service is. Not helpful. And I found out that throughout using this app over a couple of years, it doesn’t let you know any weekend service changes - such as trains not running at all or skipping certain stations. This is a different type of notification aside from the usual incident/delay type of service change and it’s somehow hard to know unless you go to a specific page on the MTA website or go to the station to see notice flyers stuck on the wall. I dunno... but I get really annoyed when I go take the train and the train station itself is shut down at the same time it shows “good service” on this app. Now I have to either walk to another line/station and/or rearrange my whole transportation so I’m probably gonna be late for 30 mins.. Hopefully in the future this app can include such important info so we don’t get the run around from MTA so much as we do now.
New York Subway Map
by D. Hill on 2018/10/03 12:03
This is a great application for those who use the NYC subway regularly or even if you are new to the system. First the app is well designed allowing users to easily bounce from section to section with a simple tap to the top pop up menu. The app covers all the basics whether you want to create a route, save a train line as a favorite, look up the latest alerts, and navigate the subway map. The app not only covers the essentials but provides extras such as an included New York City Guide that allows users to read up on all the facets of the city whether it be the attractions, or the infrastructure services that help guide the public in their daily lives. It is all included in the guide. The app also gives users a choice in whether they want a ad free experience or a premium version in which you can avoid them. This is highly recommended app for NYC travelers in general whether you use the subway a lot or not.
Good except at the last/first stop
by TR Engineer on 2017/09/14 22:06
The app is great and usually very accurate with the train times when I am coming home from work. However, the app seems to have an issue with dictating southbound train times at the final stop (terminal) of the train I take. I take the 5 train from and to Eastchester-Dyre Avenue. Whenever I select this station it only shows northbound trains but never southbound ones. I wouldn't mind if it only showed southbound trains because those are the ones leaving the station. Other than this issue the app has been great and very useful to my daily commute.
First time reviewing an app...
by daves first review of an app on 2019/06/21 00:42
...and I’ve come because this app has finally motivated me to take even more time out of my day to warn the masses that this thing is a complete and utter fail. You have one job to do. Show the subway map. When I’m rolling up to an unfamiliar subway stop, I unearth this unholy thing to quickly find a transfer or express train. And it makes you WAIT for inane amounts of time by displaying a full page advertisement. And while you’re clicking around trying to find out how to X out of the thing, or waiting for the video ad to finish, that last minute subway knowledge you needed sails away. And you wail. Well I ain’t wailing for the benefit of my co-commuters anymore. I’m wailing to the masses via the ratings board. And it feels good. Don’t use this crap. Not until they figure out how to put an ad in the bottom of the map screen, or anywhere that isn’t obscuring the information you need. Boom.
Use Google instead this app will only make you hate this app
by NYfirstmer on 2019/05/04 03:55
Went to NY for first time. App DOES give you very accurate info on the trains, but does not track walking movement well at all which is essential to find the right platform to get on a train in the first place. And does not tell you which side of track to be on. Hardest part was finding where to catch a train, and since the app didn’t track waking well or have a directional pointer to show which way you’re headed as you move your phone, it often had us going back and forth changing direction. then when we finally found a platform and got there we’d still have to ask someone if we were on the correct side heading in right direction.
Just asking google was much easier and google lets you know exactly what time train is leaving.
Good thing is NYers were the MOST helpful people in the world.
Too intrusive monetization
by jarcec on 2019/09/23 14:21
On one side I understand the need to monetize the app, after all nothing is really for free. However the way monetization is introduced into the app is way too intrusive and more often then not interfere with the ability to use the app.
Quite frequently the app forces full screen advertisements which on its own isn’t that bad, but coupled with spotty reception in the subway, I found myself very often opening the app and then the app opening full screen advert video and not loading anything due to missing reception. No way to discard the black screen without restarting the app. Making the app basically useless.
I would rather recommend to use official MTA app that doesn’t have this problem even though that getting to some aspects (like map) takes few more clicks.
Unusable advertising bombardment
by Darin S on 2020/01/12 23:31
The app borders on being unusable since it just spams you with fullscreen ads anytime you open it. I don’t have an issue with advertising, but when it hinders your ability to actually use the app then it makes that app pointless.
Most people use this app to check the subway map quickly on the train platform to make sure they get on the right train. But anytime you attempt to do so, you have 3 seconds before ads take up the entire screen and block your access to the map. After a period of time the ad allows you to close it, but then a second ad pops up when you do so. By the time it allows you to close that one, the train you were trying to get info on has already come and gone.

Good enough
by Readin'junkie on 2019/07/10 23:12
I’ve been using this app for at least 3 years and it’s good enough for most things. However, a major annoyance is that it can be hard to plan a route when you’re not sure what the street address of your end stop is. For example, if you’re trying to go to the 23rd street stop on the 1 from 96th street, you can enter your start stop by clicking on it, but then you have to choose your destination from a list that’s like “23rd street / 7th Avenue” or “23rd street / 6th Avenue” or “23rd street / Broadway”. Subway lines don’t nearly follow avenues so it’s annoying to have to try 2 or 3 stations until you find the right one.
I have 2 possible solutions:
A) the subway line icon should be placed next to the station in the drop down list or
B) even better, you can choose BOTH the start and the end station from the map, not a drop down list, when you plan your route.
Hope you can improve this feature some time soon!

by M.Macy on 2018/04/30 16:03
Had not been in NY since I was in my 20's ...now nearly 50 years ago!
This app and a paper subway map of the city got me everywhere from Brooklyn to uptown, the battery, you name it, and back to Prospect Park where I was staying with my son for a week. NY is a great town and I had a magnificent time covering it on foot and by subway. This app was invaluable. It made everything so possible to navigate that I often felt Time was delightfully still - and I moving about the city with the confidence

Bad news APP
by woo wee bubba on 2018/05/10 16:48
Doesn’t work well, click on route planner, put Penn Station to destination address and there’s no where to click or tap on submit etc. in order to receive the route or witch subway train to take... Hard to use not user-friendly. ********************************** 2nd review regarding your RESPONSE: thank you for your response. If I knew the station I was going to, I wouldn’t need the APP, ryt? My issue was, I didn’t know which train or train line to take from PENN station. That’s why I used the app in the first place, to find out which train line to use, which stop to get off at. The app could not give me that information. As you stated in your response, it doesn’t work with addresses. Perhaps you could fix that in the future, going forward. Thank you For your initial reply.
Useful app (ads have become annoying)
by ProfessorHines on 2017/10/20 04:59
This app is my go to when I may need to get around due to unexpected detours on the train or need to plan a different away around an area I may not be familiar with.
The ads however have really become the downfall of this app, as before they use to pop up and you could close but each one is a video with audio which you have to wait to close. It didn’t use to be this intrusive. I know ads are needed for funding but the new ad method is going to kill this app.
I highly recommend people to pay to have ads removed. You’ll thank me later.
Ads are ridiculous
by abcdsquare on 2021/09/07 16:57
I understand there need to be ads. But EVERY time the app is opened an ad pops up. Even if you go away from the screen for 30 seconds you are forced to watch a 30 second ad. Some of them are longer and then you wait another 30 seconds or more on the selection page for the option to dismiss. This defeats the purpose of checking on train times when you are trying to figure out what is going on in a particular station.
It wasn’t always this terrible, but the last month or so has been a headache. Nearly useless to gauge train time.
Unofficial NYC app, save the frustration and download the real onr
by Kjhuhvv on 2021/06/22 10:34
This is a unofficial app that simply rebroadcast free info available is a way that's much less useful than the official apps. Any visitors of the new york subway should use the free MyMTA app, or Google maps. The hi res version of the paper maps seems useful until you realize it's just what you would get if you search the web for "MTA large print app" on the web ( and you'd get the same map)
I think apps like these (presenting freely available info with ads or fees) are a blight on the app store as is makes in harder for tourists and visitors to find the real official apps. Tourists beware, find the official apps and maps on New York MTA's official website at app and save the ads and frustration.
Too many ads.
by dhrifjskrn on 2020/01/04 23:06
I especially don’t like the fact that it opens with an ad causing a delay to get to the map. Sometimes, when you need to jump off or on a train because your route is suddenly changing, this delay can cause a person to miss making the move in time. Very frustrating. This should be a public service. You are already collecting what I consider to be a hefty fee for the service. And whether the cost is an actual additional fee to get rid of the ads, or the loss of help when you need it, it’s obnoxious. A functional, friendly map to help people use that service should not come at an additional cost to the user.
Intrusive ads make app unusable in for quick decisions on the train platform
by fjdurhegeudje on 2021/11/18 05:05
Ads pop up immediately whenever you first open the app, last too long, and can’t be immediately closed. It won’t give you problems if you’re checking the map with time to spare, but if you ever find yourself needing this app to help you make a snap decision re: boarding an unexpected train that has just pulled up to the platform, you won’t have time to close out the inevitable ads and check the map before the train departs.
There are other free nyc subway map apps that don’t frontload unskippable ads. This one isn’t going to ruin your life, but there’s just no reason to download it over the others.
I was mistaken, app remains superb
by E. Miaru on 2017/12/19 00:05
[previously wrote] "Suddenly I'm getting full-screen pop-ups that are hard to dismiss, in the PAID version.
Small update: after I wrote the above, dev. issued an update for iPhone X. Pop-ups are now easier to dismiss, but no less intrusive. Paid users should be limited to only the most discreet ads possible, if any, imo.
I added two stars to my orig. rating which I believe is fair. The app is generally very effective and useful."
Another update: thanks to the developers I learned that I was only getting ads because I got a new phone and hadn't restored the app fully. Here I thought I'd been betrayed. My apologies to them for being a dunce. Rating amended accordingly.
Addresses don’t work
by I'm John on 2017/11/17 14:52
I can’t believe I paid for this. It’s only barely good for having a subway map. If you don’t know the name of the station you’re going to this app is useless.
You can not type in an address and have it give you the nearest station. A waste of money. I’m sorry I paid for the ad free version. They don’t deserve the money, neither do the ad companies!
Mapway sent me an email saying that their app can find nearest location but they failed to mention that it doesn’t do point to point. You have to know the subway stop you’re going to for the app to tell you how to get there. WELL if I knew that I wouldn’t need the app in the first place!
I’ll stick with Apple Maps and consider the $3’s a donation maybe they can get a clue.
Appalling service. Filthy, dangerous and confusing.
by nosir prize on 2021/10/29 23:44
Why does the MTA feel the need to show pop up ads when you are looking at the subway map? It’s pathetic. Compared to any other major city it’s disgusting! Paris, London, Moscow, Tokyo to name but a few. There is not much more irritating than trying to figure out which train to catch but you can’t because an Experian ad pops up repeatedly. NYC subway is filthy, it stinks, it’s unsafe and the map is barely comprehensible! Whoever is advertising on it should be aware that what they are doing is creating badwill for their brand. And whoever runs it should be fired!
Gotta to be the only country in the world where they want you to pay for the subway map app!
Not for the 'on the go' New Yorker
by jack gerritsen on 2020/01/05 14:27
This app does everything right. It helps you plan your routes and shows the status of each line in a nice package. It's so nice, which makes it infuriating that the usefulness of the app is hindered by advertisements that block the entire screen. I don't particularly mind banner advertisements that show up on the ends of the screen, but it's very frustrating to have an ad that you have to wait five seconds before skipping when you need to make a decision in which seconds count. It's come to the point where I dread the thought if opening the app. NYC waits for no one, so don't wait for an ad.
New ads make this unusable
by totaljunkstuff on 2019/01/12 15:24
Do not download - app used to be good, then they started full page ads that load when you open the app ... which was OK as they could be closed quickly.
Why this matters: when you go to look at a map you often only have a few seconds before your potential train arrives - the info needs to be quickly accessible or you’ll literally make a bad transit choice costing you time and frustration.
New video ads are now displaying and can’t be closed for a long period of time making this app essentially useless - it’s faster to load a nyc map PDF in the pdf reader
Ads absolutely kill it
by SenseiTse on 2019/01/19 05:01
If you need to access the map quickly (for example to check if you can transfer to a different line at a particular station) you’ll get hit with an annoying ad that lasts longer than the time it would take to get up and look at the map on the train itself (or to pull up a saved picture of the subway system). If you’re wearing headphones, they’ll also kill your music and possibly your ears as some are very loud.
If you’re from out of town and planning your trip in advance and are not worried about urgency, you might as well use google maps.
Inaccurate countdown clocks
by JRglendale on 2018/05/31 14:39
App is decent. Service statuses seem to be fairly accurate, however the countdown clocks always seem to be missing the closest train. For example, the countdown clock will say the next train is 8 mins away, when really the next train is 3 mins away. There may be one 8 mins away, but the most important info, the next closest train, isn’t always on there. This makes trying to time transfers to/from express trains difficult and often leads me to not even check the countdown clocks on the app or open the app because it’s not correct and/or missing train arrivals. So what’s the point of the countdown clocks if they’re not correct?
Good, but dropping due to the obnoxious ADS!
by amberfrances23 on 2018/08/30 14:25
This is a pretty decent app for navigating the NYC subway system. The time clocks are usually correct, or close enough. But the advertisements have become increasingly obnoxious and intrusive. Checking the updated train time while in transit or transferring has become pointless because you are now forced to sit through a 10-15 second ad before you can close the ad out and get on with the train time. The train time you get a glimpse of before the ad pops up is not live. This app is not worth it in my opinion.
Is the App really worth the annoyance?
by transit-toe on 2018/07/23 11:33
I understand that for an App to be profitable it needs to sell advertising. That’s fine and dandy however when the advertising cannot be readily closed to actually use the App, it becomes useless.
There have been many instances where information was needed immediately to make an informed decision and was blocked by advertising that could not be closed.
Put it to you this way......., I will be looking at OTHER Apps.
Good app, annoying ads
by Clarknt67 on 2021/05/18 15:48
This app is fine as a mobile subway map with two annoyances. One, the free version plays an interminable video ad before you get to the map. Maybe it is 30 secs but it takes FOREVER. Secondly, though it has location services, the default map view centers Jackson Heights Queens. As far as I can tell there is no way to change that. It is just a minor annoyance to always need to scroll, unless you live in Jackson Heights Queens.
advertising at the worst time
by Mr. Bean1000 on 2021/11/07 02:25
You are late to work, running out of time, you open this app trying to find out if there are any service changes. Guess what? You are hit by an advertisement that runs for a whole minute.
The makers of this app had no clue who uses this app, when people would use it, why they would use the app, they just went ahead and slept a bunch of ads at the wrong time all
Over this app. It’s pretty much unusable because of the untimely adds. It’s a shame , it could’ve been a popular app, it just didn’t make it.
Could be good, but annoying design
by paulraphael on 2018/06/22 01:11
The app nags you about notifications being turned off unless you have every notification option turned on. This is just terrible. I don’t want them all turned on. Leave me alone.
It also shows ads in a deliberately intrusive way. A full screen ad comes on right when you need to use the app, and there’s a little my pause before you can dismiss it. I can be enticed into paying for a good app but will not be BULLIED into paying for a hostile one.
Another developer that hates its users.
Nice app, intrusive ads!
by Impatient New Yorker on 2021/10/01 20:48
Nice app, yet the ads pop up randomly, are intrusive, and require 3-4 clicks and pop up window closures to continue to the content. Annoying when one needs to check the schedule swiftly to make a time-pressed train change decision. It’s made me look for and use other apps. To some extent it’s the price of a free/low cost app, yet the games played to close ads are not features of similar apps. Bad decision management.
Useful but ads not appreciated.
by Jewel2098 on 2018/10/30 20:30
Very useful to pull up a map quickly... EXCEPT when you’re bombarded by an ad within 1-2 secs and within that timeframe, you’ve missed the train you weren’t sure if you were supposed to take. Especially the AnastasiaDate ad with a scantily clad woman and porn music automatically playing- inappropriate if you pulled up the app at work... deleting this app.
Do not use
by Brooklyn Meditator on 2018/09/29 22:01
When planning a route, the app does not take into account things like weekend track work even though elsewhere in the app (as I eventually discovered) it provides info on weekend service status. So while the trip planner said my trip would take 52 minutes, it in fact took 95. I could have driven or taken an Uber for a 45 minute trip, which I know since I’ve driven the route many times in the past, but thought hey why not just take the train. I could have even taken a different train route that would have been much faster. What an counterproductive waste.
Great app and information ruined by ads
by Baskffoc on 2021/09/04 15:20
It’s has great information, times, schedule service and other features but you are required to watch a 30-45 sec ad first that shows up 5 secs after opening it. No way around it but watch. I would be whatever about it but ads pop up again after a period of time. Usually at the worse moment when u need to transfer or read about a service change. What’s worse is that these ads are advertising get rich and other scams.
Going to the authentic MTA app.
Best in class
by mr100percent on 2018/10/06 19:40
I’ve tried multiple subway apps and this one is easily my favorite. It’s simple to use, the map is easy to read and zoom, and tapping on a station brings up options including the countdown clocks. And all this is in the free version. I’m deleting my other subway apps and using this one.
Infuriating unskippable ads
by owlielu on 2021/08/27 21:53
I cannot exit out of them and they take forever to go away. Maybe a small unobtrusive pop up in the bottom or corner would be fine if the devs HAVE TO have ads running to keep the ap going but I have places to go in town and if I’m trying to get directions in a time sensitive manner and some stupid mobile game app ad comes up it makes it stressful to try and navigate the subway and see where my stops are. I had to delete the app for this reason. This app is garbage for that reason.
Bad
by smhwjs on 2019/07/29 03:40
Horrible. Late to reservations because of this app. The app says that it shows when stations have problems but failed to tell us the station I selected was completely closed going down town and there was no info about it until we had crossed through the barrier. Currently doing 40 mins of extra traveling because of this.
Re: I kept the app through the week to see if i was just using it wrong and it still has yet to be of use. I am better off just guessing where I’m going.
Used to be worth the ads. Not anymore.
by just another guy in New York on 2018/11/11 21:51
I’m deleting your app. I get that things aren’t free. But all I have ever used your app for was to see the MTA map. And I just had to sit through a 30 second commercial. Banners were fine. A good quick page I could see and close out of was fine. But 30 seconds to see a map that I’m going to just download?
Just wanted you to know. Hoping you fix this for other users. I almost missed my train waiting for your ad to complete. The service provided is not worth it.
Don’t try to find your way in a hurry
by danyman100 on 2021/10/17 12:51
Nothing is more annoying than trying to find your way only to get interrupted by an ad that seems to never end. Trying to click out of the ad only makes you click on it inadvertently.
This is especially annoying when you’re on the platform, the train rolls in and you’re just about to find what you’re looking for on the map. That ad will make sure that you will not return to the map before that train has closed its doors.
Good app, HORRIBLE ADVERTISING
by LoveLy_Burnout on 2020/01/19 03:05
I really enjoyed this app until each and every time I tried to use it to check the train schedule the “ADS” that popped up are of half naked men advertising some gay hookup app. Not only do I find this stereotyping extremely demeaning but also disgusting that I have to be in public while these targeted ads pop up on my phone. That is not the type of lifestyle I live nor do I appreciate the insinuation. So final thoughts... DONT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. They are more concerned with advertising then they are with you using the actual app. They should be ashamed.
Ads make it unusable
by Donut_Tony on 2021/08/29 22:28
The ads in this app have always been awful - popping up, playing annoying audio, and covering the whole screen for several seconds before a tiny “close” button appears. But lately the “close” button doesn’t appear at all, the ads freeze, and I have to force close the app and start over. I’m giving it two stars because the app behind the ads is actually decent.
Free version is almost unusable
by RPI_Grad on 2019/12/22 22:02
I’ve used this app happily for quite a while. I’m familiar with ad-supported apps, but the recent changes to this app have made the free version almost unusable. Just when you’re trying to see something important or time-sensitive, the ads commandeer the entire screen. It’s a really bad user experience, even an for ad-supported app. Perhaps the paid version is great, but since I need this info only when I’m in NYC occasionally, I’ll be deleting this app and using the MTA PDF file.
Ads interrupting your emergency search
by เนลดา จารุทวิโชติ on 2018/06/15 15:24
Don’t mind ads but don’t use this when you’re in a rush. As soon as you open the app to the service status right before you can check anything the ad pops, imagine when you’re in a train changing stop and connection is limited platform to platform you trying search and the ad pops then you lost connection again :(( You don’t even get to search anything. A lot of my local New Yorkers friends use the other free apps and they never have problems with ads interrupting.
Ok.
by Shwistch on 2017/10/28 15:59
The map is al I see useful and a map can be obtained anywhere. It needs lots of improvements. Also, the adds should not pop up when you are looking for an address, specially when in a rush. I know thats how they make money, but, think about a better way of advertisement.
Review of NYC Subway
by MTA rider 2019 on 2019/01/15 15:09
Lack of maintenance and management but wasting tax payer and riders money w/o improving renovating to a more efficient 21st Century bullet speed transportation network system. Year by year MTA keep wasting money to do non-efficient lousy maintenance work for an over 100 years old obsolete, out of date transportation system which is comparable to Africa’s 3rd world’s. While other countries are running bullet speed train system to increase efficiency for a 21st Century technology competition!
NYC subway
by Msnuxoll on 2018/03/30 02:24
Hey! There’s this app called nyc subway. I think this app is great because I love that it has train routes.I recommend that you should
get this app only if you need it if
you’re riding the M.T.A.
-This review was written by my 6 year old son who loves the MTA as well as this app. He was very happy to see your response! Thank you
Waste of money!!!!
by Manimal138 on 2019/10/18 21:24
You buy this app and unlock the features for $20 and it doesn’t have any type of tutorial to teach you how to use it. It doesn’t recognize landmarks of New York City by name you have to use the physical address. You could just use Google Maps for that! Do yourself a favor and just UBER anyway. Subway and transit is so out of touch with technology that it’s almost impossible to decipher unless you live in the City.
Not clear when stops are down
by Bhmrck on 2019/02/18 16:14
This app is generally really good-BUT PLEASE MAKE IT CLEAR WHEN I STATION IS DOWN!!!
I had to go digging to see if they even mentioned the fact that the 103rd Street stop is closed. All the train times are listed there as if it’s up and running, and all the alerts when clicking on that stop have NOTHING to do with the closure. Super frustrating!!
Worst app due to intrusive advertisements
by Bb10281028 on 2018/12/23 20:24
I usually don’t write reviews and have been using this for some time. It used to be good. Did it’s job. It basically shows MTA map. But everyone you open the app there is a full screen ad with an x on top to close it. When you hit the x another ad open up with another x at a different place.
Traveling in NYC sometimes you have to open app quickly to not miss the train and the above mentioned quirks makes it useless.
The most useful way to get around (without looking like a tourist)
by broadband00 on 2021/03/05 13:44
This used to be my favorite subway app (see below). Now at least the free "version" is just a piece of useless garbage. I put quotes around version because it's a fake: there is ZERO functionality. Does not work AT ALL. Just junk.
Old review: love this app. I use it every time I go into the city to figure out where I need to go. When used in conjunction with Google or Apple maps, there is nowhere you can't get to.
